Just glued up a full text block in the garage and watched the spine go crooked
I had 300 pages of cream paper all sewn and ready, clamped the block in my press on the bench in the garage, and spread the PVA a little too fast trying to beat the open time. The spine ended up lopsided on the right side, maybe an eighth of an inch off, and I could feel it under my thumb as it set. I sopped up what I could with a paper towel and wrapped the whole thing in wax paper to dry flat overnight. Now I'm looking at a slightly fat fore edge and dreading the sanding. Has anyone actually fixed a block that set crooked, or am I trashing the text block and starting the sewing over?
